The genome of the forest insect pest Pissodes strobi reveals genome expansion and evidence of a Wolbachia endosymbiont
G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 12(4).
Ed(s): S. Smith
author keywords: Curculionidae; Pissodes strobi; spruce weevil; forest pest; genome size; transposable elements; Wolbachia; endosymbiont
MeSH headings : Animals; Forests; Insecta; Picea / genetics; Weevils / genetics; Wolbachia / genetics
TL;DR:
A substantial expansion of the weevil nuclear genome is reported, relative to other Curculionidae species, possibly driven by an abundance of class II DNA transposons.
